| Description of the problem | As i was approaching an intersection and i started to apply the brakes, the van suddenly accelerated, when i pressed hard on the brake still it wouldn't stop... Call kia sedona authorized dealer, they said there's no recall. As i researched the internet, i notice that car gurus(which is a car forum) over 33 people had complaint with the same problem. There were an accident with fatalities even. I'm very concern as i drive with all my kids specially my grandson often, and it scares the crap out of me to think that i would get involved in an accident with the little one on board. A lot of people did the diagnostics that the dealer suggested, after paying over $110 plus taxes, the car is still showing the same problem. I really need somebody to tell me what am i supposed to do? I'm still paying for the vehicle, i'm scared to drive it anywhere specially the highway... Help please... |
